Interesting follow up episode...

Just looking at the plans for Phase 4... there's going to be a TON of Marvel content released over the next 2 years. Holy crap.

That's my assumption as well...

I'm wondering if the show is going to be a one season thing, or if it is planned to come back for a second season?

Kind of a meh episode, but that's to be expected at some point. Didn't make it any less interesting overall, as it just sets up what's to come. But I didn't feel it was particularly well structured as a cohesive episode.

Just regarding Episode 6.

Schitt's Creek should be higher. It's a really good show, and it gets stronger as it goes on. This last season was absolutely killer. RuPaul had a really strong season in Season 12 so I'm glad to see it listed.

Wow. I yelled "Oh Shit" out loud three times watching this week's episode. I'm super intrigued.

Hollywood, I feel, was a really underrated series but I'm glad it made the list. I really enjoyed it. Haven't heard anything about the rest.

I didn't watch The Flight Attendant until last week, otherwise it would have 100% made my list. Dead to me is easily one of my fave shows so, it's unfortunate it's so low on the list. I haven't watched any of the others, though Killing Eve is on my to watch list.

Yes, and ideally they can come shoot it up here so I can work it 😆 .. perfect canadian setting up north and all.

If they're developping more content for a series format, I'd personally love to see the MCU guys tackle the X-Men in a tv series format. I just thing television lends itself better to those characters / story, as there's so much to tell. And they can tie them into the movies fairly well regardless, from the series. WandaVision is a hit. Genuinely, I really like it and it's probably my favorite MCU product thus far... which totally took me by surprise as I'm not a big fan of either character... but the series format is really working here. And they've gone all out with it.

1. Schitt's Creek 2. Hollywood 3. Dead To Me 4. Drag Race 5. Little Fires Everywhere 6. The Good Fight 7. Drag Race Canada 8. Trickster 9. The Circle 10. The Crown 11. Harley Quinn 12. Next in Fashion 13. The Conners 14. The Good Place 15. Tell Me A Story

Anybody try Battleground yet? Just wondering what people think. Personally.... it's a fun little game but a let down as the replacement for the WWE 2K series imo. I'd still love to see EA tackle a WWE game tbh.

I watched the new Child's PLay with Aubrey Plaza. I honestly didn't expect it to be very good or anything but we really enjoyed it, surprisingly. I mean, I personally have never been a big fan of the series and think the concept is a bit tough to get into... but I thought this was well done considering. I can't say I was a huge fan of the doll design and the CGI face was not great. But I eventually got past that.

I think this is a good out for Marvel to avoid recasting T'Challa while simultaneously debuting a new Black Panther. Shuri is an interesting choice, and would be something to have a Black Female leading a superhero franchise. She also took on the mantle in the comics for a time, so there's a precedent there. Regardless... what a shit news cycle. Honestly, I was stunned when I heard last night. Still pretty unbelievable that he was suffering from cancer through essentially his entire rise to fame. It's pretty crazy that the news never leaked and that's a testament to his support system.

I got some gift certificates for Mirvish for christmas... hoping they allow it to roll over to next season.

I was supposed to see Hamilton in Toronto prior to this COVID happening... I'll check out the Disney one instead I guess

All Stars 5, Ep 2

S12 Finale All Stars 5, Ep 1

1. WWF SmackDown 2: Know Your Role - I loved this game. I played it as recently as 2 years ago. It's a fun nostalgic trip. Big roster for the time, the career mode never got boring (despite it being 8 matches Raw - 8 Matches SD - 8 Raw - 8 SD - 8 on PPV, next month). It's the first WWE game I owned and we played it sooooo much. I'm surprised the disk still works. 2. Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance - I wasn't sure what version of MK to put, as I've been playing the series since the first one came out on the Super NES. But I went with this one as it was a game changer with the 3D graphics and fighting world, the story mode, create a fighter, etc. Its the game that really made me learn and get into the mythology of the series. 3. The Sims - All iterations really, but the original Sims introduced the series to me and I still play Sims 4 on the regular. 4. Extreme Warfare Revenge - Goes without saying how important it's been. Brought me here, years ago, and I've played it to death. Legacy continues to this day with TEW 20. 5. Pokemon Red/Blue - Interchangeable here, my brother and I each had one and we swapped them constantly. I've gone back to it more than once over the last 20 years, and between Pokemon Sun, Pokemon Go and Pokemone Shield.. not to mention countless fan made versions for the Emulators. It's been a series that played a large part of my gaming life.

I'm hoping for Crystal, she really won me over progressively, but I can see Gigi taking it which would not be bad either. Jada is so uninteresting to me as a whole, so I'm hoping it isn't her... but I suspect she's got a good shot.

I saw that show too and wanted to watch it, I didn't know what it was about. And what's interesting is my perception of Drag when I first watched the show was this big flamboyant caricature of a woman lipsynching. Exaggerated make up, over the top hair and gowns... Like Divine. I think that's why I loved Nina West on season 11, or [redacted] now (I hate to admit and it's such a shame but she's a strong contender) or even Sasha Velour, who morphed that aesthetic but still had the qualities I recognized as Drag (hers was one of the first seasons I had seen). So, for me the show definitely changed me pre-conceived notion of what drag is and definitely highlighted the artistry behind creating these characters. I still tend to be more interested by the ones with that over the top aesthetic and performance...... And what's funny, personally, about what you said of drag being initially a face, an outfit and a lipsynch..... I don't particularly find RuPaul to be a great representation of that, at all. I find her a great female impersonator, and a pretty good entertainer as a whole, but I usually despise her choice of gowns.... and I've never seen her lipsynch so I can't comment on that (i know she's singer but still, haven't seen her do it to be honest). But she's pretty and fishy... and I think that's why she tends to occasionally favour queens that fit that type of aesthetic more so than the classic drag you've described (really, I can think of no winners that fit that classic drag queen mould). Anyways.... the whole thing is interesting. Thanks for those shows, I'll check them out.

Thats cool. I meant no offense I certainly don't think Jaida is a bad Drag Queen at all. And yes, admittedly my experience with Drag is quite limited. I had gone to a show, exactly as you said, MC / Hosted by one, about 7 years ago and that was my first real exposure to drag (I mean I worked in a gay club for about a year and so I had seen people come in dressed in drag, but our place never hosted events or whatnot so I actually hadn't seen a drag performance prior to that one... the rest were essentially crossdressers as far as I knew at the time). So aside from that, I started watching Drag race a few years ago on netflix and what attracted me most to the show is the performance aspect and I kept looking at what they were doing it and relating to my acting experience / training and clown training and realized it was an actual art form. And a really intriguing one. I think that's why I really dig the celebrity one, because you're seeing these artists apply their trade / training and discovering drag and it's super fascinating. I'd love a non-novelty version of that, full season length, of watching people discovering and growing in drag. Speaking aout Celebrity Drag Race And good to know about the documentary, it was on my list but I'll definitely check it out soon.

I like Gigi, but I agree she isn't as strong a contender for the crown in my mind now than she was early on (and the fact that she's only 21 shows she HAS talent... winning and working with Ru's team afterwards will only help her). Crystal has really, really grown on me and I agree, the more I see her the more I appreciate her art and "get it", so to speak. She is really genius and I think she's got a real shot at winning, especially considering Yvie Oddly won the previous season over poised competitor Brooke Lynn Hytes. Personally would love to see the two of them with Jackie Cox in the finals. I have to disagree with Jaida being "drag excellence". She's fallen really flat with me for the most part, she's good, but she fades in the background for me more often than not. I agree that Sherry should have been in the bottom based on the time thing and, again, doing the same old same old... but, personal life aside, she does represent the quintessential drag queen people think of. She's like Divine in a sense, she's talented and she has the classic drag look. I can see why she gets away with it, because her drag is really polished and established as it is. The show rarely rewards people who change it up, despite often asking certain queens to change it up (think Bebe winning season 1, she never switched it up. she's a great queen, but she knew her drag and didn't stray). I can't be upset about Heidi going home though. I enjoyed her, but she was the weakest one of the remaining queens.
